Peng Pai was kicked by Lao Yang, and he couldn't fight back, so he could only hug his head and run away.

Lao Yang chased after Peng Pai and asked, "Where is Yang Yansi's rebel?" ”

Lao Yang is not stupid, the two sons chased them out for a long time and did not move, if there is no cat in it, it would be strange.

Peng Pai remembered Yang Qi's orders, and he must not reveal his news to Lao Yang.

was helpless to be forced by Lao Yang, so Peng Pai could only betray Yang Da and Yang Wu.

"Master, don't fight, let me tell you, people are in Changle Fang."

When Lao Yang was leaving, he kicked Peng Pai again and snorted coldly.

Lao Yang went out of the mansion, stepped on the horse, looked for pedestrians on the road to inquire about the location of Changle Fang, and galloped over.

After Lao Yang left.

Peng Pai quietly slipped out of the house and went to Datong's study to report the news to Yang Qi.

Old Yang rode his horse and galloped, and after a while, he arrived at Changle Fang, and before he entered the door, he saw Yang Da and Yang Wu drunk like mud.

In an instant, Lao Yang's anger rose slowly.

"Yang Yanping! Yang Yande! You two rebels! ”

Lao Yang roared, rushed into Changle Fang, grabbed the two people and beat them.

The two of them weren't actually drunk, just a little drunk.

As soon as he was played by Lao Yang, he instantly sobered up.

The two adults, like children who have done something wrong, obediently stand where to let Lao Yang beat.

waited until Lao Yang was angry.

Lao Yang taught the two of them a lesson, and asked sharply, "Let you go and catch Yang Yansi's rebel son for the old man, you are actually hiding here and secretly drinking." It just doesn't make sense. ”

Yang Wu said bluntly: "We don't want to do this either, the seventh brother didn't leave Datong Mansion City at all, he asked us to come over for a drink." ”

Yang Dayi patted his head and looked at the sky speechlessly.

Lao Yang asked: "You will do whatever Yang Yansi's rebel son asks you to do?" Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Yang Wu's words were speechless.

Lao Yang glared at Yang Qi, "Since you said that the rebel asked you to come here to drink, then you tell the old man where the rebel is, and the old man will personally arrest him back." ”

Yang Wuyi was stunned and confessed: "I don't know!" ”

Lao Yang was almost angry to death, and he raised his hand to continue to teach Yang Wu a lesson.

Yang Da hurriedly intervened to stop him, and he explained: "The seventh brother just asked Peng Pai to pass a word to the two of us. Listening to Peng Pai, the seventh brother hid there. ”

"Humph!"

Lao Yang snorted coldly and glared at the two, "I'll clean you up when I go back." ”

Dropping this sentence, Lao Yang rode a horse to Datong Academy to find Yang Qi.

When I arrived at Datong Academy, I learned that Yang Qi had already left.

Lao Yang rode his horse back to the mansion again.

When he returned to Yang's mansion, he saw Yang Qi returning to the mansion in one step.

is chatting with Zhao Pu with laughter.

Old Yang wanted to beat someone angrily, but when he saw Yang Qi chatting with Zhao Pu, he couldn't beat someone.

He could only snort at Yang Qi coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Zhao Pu and Yang Qi didn't care about Lao Yang's mood.

The two of you are doing Tai Chi back and forth.

Zhao Pule said with a smile: "Huhou is really young and promising, I think that at the beginning, when the old man first saw Huhou, Huhou was just a fledgling boy." Only a few years later, Huhou became the overlord of perseverance in the northwest. ”

Yang Qi smiled humbly: "A little achievement, how can it be compared with Zhao Xiangye." Zhao Xiangye worshiped the prime minister three times, went through two dynasties, and stood on the court for decades. He is really a model for Wenchen. ”

"Hahaha......"

Zhao Pu smiled heartily, "Huhou praised it, how can the old man's little ability be compared with Huhou." With the status of the Tiger Marquis today, if you go further, it is not a problem to split the earth and seal the king.

Even if the old man survives until he dies, at most he will be in the name of a prince, and he really doesn't dare to compare with the tiger marquis. ”

seems to be a very ordinary politeness, but in fact, Zhao Pu is talking to Yang Qi.

He took up the words of the king, hoping that Yang Qi could take it.

He didn't expect that Yang Qi didn't answer his words at all, and only heard Yang Qi say with a smile: "Zhao Xiangye is really a tormented boy." In the past, when the kid was messing around in Bianjing City, he was taken care of by Zhao Xiangye.

Now that Zhao Xiangye has arrived on the boy's land, the boy naturally does not dare to slack off.

The kid has already ordered his wife to prepare a table of sumptuous wine and food to wash the dust for Zhao Xiangye.

After Zhao Xiangye rests for one night, tomorrow the boy will send someone to take Zhao Xiangye to enjoy the scenery of the northwest. ”

The smile on Zhao Pu's face was a little unnatural, "The scenery of the northwest, the old man has time to appreciate it." At this feast, the old man has time to eat. ”

Zhao Pu simply picked out the words and said, "Why don't we talk about business first?" ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Talking while eating? ”

"Talk before you eat."

Zhao Pu said toughly.

Old Yang was eager to interject.

Yang Qi let out a long sigh and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhao Pu looked at Yang Qi and said in a deep voice: "Huhou is now dominating the northwest and dividing one side, so he never thought of going further and implementing the separatist side. ”

Yang Qi pretended not to understand the meaning of Zhao Pu's words, and said in surprise: "Why did Zhao Xiangye harm me?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Pu was a little confused by Yang Qi's answer.

Yang Qi said solemnly: "Zhao Xiangye, the kid stole the northwest land, and he just wanted to help the imperial court defend the northwest, and he had no idea of self-reliance. Zhao Xiangye encouraged the kid to be self-reliant and cut himself off from the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it harming me? ”

When Zhao Pu heard this, he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Your uncle's!

Is the old man encouraging you to be self-reliant?

You're pretending to be confused with the old man.

Zhao Pu glared at Yang Qi with an ugly face, and said in a low voice: "The old man is talking about the king, and the old man has brought the edict, as long as you nod." From now on, you will be the king of the northwest recognized by the imperial court. ”

Yang Qi was shocked again, and shouted loudly: "Zhao Xiangye, you hurt me again?" ”

Zhao Pu was annoyed, "Why did the old man hurt you again, it is a great thing for you to be crowned king." ”

Yang Qi waved his hand again and again, his head shaking like a rattle, "I promised my father a few days ago, and I will never accept the edict of the prince of the imperial court." Once I accept the title of prince of the imperial court, my father will immediately behead me.

I'm still young and I don't want to die. ”

Now not only Zhao Pu wanted to vomit blood, but even Lao Yang wanted to vomit blood.

Zhao Pu could guess that Lao Yang might have done something bad with good intentions.

But Yang Qi, this kid, obviously has some grudges.

Unexpectedly, he did not hesitate to move out of Lao Yang's words to resist Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu subconsciously looked at Lao Yang, who had a dark face and glared at Yang Qi, "A few days ago were a few days ago, and now is now." Since Your Majesty has a holy decree, as a courtier of the court, how can there be a reason that goes against the holy will. ”

Yang Qi said with a straight face: "Dad, you have been educating children since childhood, a manly husband, saying one is one, saying two is two, you can't go from three to four." Your teachings will be remembered and will not be forgotten. ”

Lao Yang's face was dark, he didn't want to give his son soft, but he had to give his son soft.

Recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun can be said to be a hundred-year plan.

Lao Yang will never destroy the century-old plan of the imperial court because of face.

Immediately, Lao Yang darkened his face and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, the old man blamed you, but now the matter has been clarified." It's as if the old man hadn't said those words that day. ”

Yang Qi shook his head and said, "That's not good, you have to be principled." ”

"Bang!"

Lao Yang slapped the table, "Yang Yansi, what do you want?" ”

Yang Qi grinned.

Yang Qi spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile: "Dad, you have always felt that the child is doing bad things, whether it is the child doing it or not, you have to deduct it from the child." You are my father, and the child can only listen to you. If you say that you can't accept the imperial court's edict, the child won't accept the imperial court's edict. That's right! ”

Lao Yang could hear that Yang Qi had a grudge against himself in his heart, and he was angry.

Lao Yang glared at Yang Qi viciously, and said coldly: "Then what if Lao Tzu orders you to take it now?" ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Dad, you have spoken, and the child does not dare to disobey." But ......"

Yang Qi glanced at Lao Yang and Zhao Pu, and said with a smile: "I can accept the holy decree, but I will not agree to do anything for the imperial court." ”

Lao Yang was stunned.

Zhao Pu was stunned.

After receiving the holy decree, if you don't help the court deal with the Liao State, what are you doing with the prince.

Old Yang can order Yang Qi to take over the holy decree, but he can't order Yang Qi to lead the soldiers and horses to fight.

Father and son are father and son, and superiors and subordinates are superiors and subordinates.

As Zhao Pu said before, it was Yang Qi who was in charge of the four northwestern provinces, not Lao Yang.

Yang Qi didn't speak, even if Lao Yang shouted to break his throat, at most, he could only mobilize a small number of people such as Yang Da, Yang Wu, and Wang Gui.

But it is absolutely impossible to mobilize the majority of people.

Although Yang Da and the three are the people in charge of the army, they also have regimental leaders, battalion leaders, supervising troops and so on under their command.

These people all want to check Yang Qi's command documents.

Therefore, even if Yang Da and a small number of people are willing to listen to Lao Yang, Lao Yang will not be able to mobilize the army of the four northwestern provinces.

Lao Yang couldn't play Lao Tzu's majesty in front of Yang Qi, so he could only sit there with a black face and say nothing.

Lao Yang has no temper with Yang Qi, and Zhao Pu can only rely on himself.

At the moment of the big event, Zhao Pu didn't dare to hold it up, he said to Yang Qi in a consultative tone: "Huhou, the Northern Expedition to Liao is a hundred-year plan, which is not only related to the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, but also to the life and death of thousands of people, and the survival of the entire nation. ”

Zhao Pu sighed with emotion: "The Liao people occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun and enslave my Han people, as a man of the Han family, I should do my part to rescue them." Moreover, there is no barrier in the northwest, and the Liao people invade the south every year, plundering the grain of our people and plundering our people to enslave.

In the face of these, can Huhou really be able to deal with it calmly? ”

Zhao Pu saw that Yang Qi was silent, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "If the Tiger Marquis has no strength, the imperial court will naturally not trouble the Tiger Marquis." But today's Huhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, is strong and strong, shouldn't he contribute to the people. ”

Zhao Pu said it sincerely, and he almost burst into tears.

Lao Yang and Yang Wu, their lips were trembling with excitement.

I can't wait to drive my horse north now and have a bloody battle with the Liao.

Yang Qi glanced at Zhao Pu strangely, slandering Zhao Pu in his heart.

You, the No. 1 corrupt official in the Great Song Dynasty, are embarrassed to talk about these great principles for the country and the people in front of me.

However, Zhao Pu said this, and Yang Qi couldn't react at all.

In fact, from the time Yang Qi began to pass through the southern country, he had already prepared for this Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Naturally, he had no reason not to go to war.

He was just thinking about how much oil he could scrape off Da Song by taking advantage of this opportunity.

"Zhao Xiangye has said everything about this, so the kid can't agree to it. However, this army also has a charter for sending troops, how many soldiers to send, how much food and salary to get, and what to gain after the war, do these have to be discussed? ”

Yang Qi looked at Zhao Pu with a smile.

Lao Yang was a little anxious and wanted to interject.

Yang was quick and grabbed Lao Yang, and shook his head in Lao Yang's angry eyes.

Lao Yang took a deep breath and did not speak again.

Zhao Pu heard Yang Qi's words, and his heart relaxed a lot.

As long as Yang Qi promised to send troops, the rest of the things would be easy to discuss.

Zhao Pu picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The imperial court has promised you a prince, this kind of great benefit is in front of you, and you still want to ask for food and post-war benefits?" ”

Yang Qi laughed and said: "Zhao Xiangye, a prince, in the eyes of others, it is a great benefit. But is it really a benefit for me? Whether there is a prince or not, these four northwestern prefectures are all my land.

For the sake of a name, let me send hundreds of thousands of troops to help the Great Song Dynasty fight, do you think I'm stupid?

Or can you, Zhao Xiangye, guarantee that after the imperial court takes the sixteen states of Yanyun, it will not turn its gun and attack me? ”

Zhao Pu was shocked, but his face was silent.

Yang Qi's guess is almost exactly the same as Zhao Guangyi's layout.

The reason why Zhao Guangyi gave the title of the Empress Dowager of the old Taijun of the Zhe family, and gave Yang Qifeng the king, was to use the Zheyang family to make great efforts during the Northern Expedition to the Liao State.

When he recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun, he will return to the northwest without hesitation with a great victory and deal with the two Yangs.

Zhao Guangyi not only thinks so, but also intends to do so.

Therefore, Zhao Pu didn't dare to give Yang Qi any guarantees.

Zhao Pu didn't even dare to give Yang Qi an empty promise.

Because he was sure that as long as he dared to nod and say that the imperial court would not deal with the Zheyang family after recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, then Yang Qi would definitely put forward the conditions for countermeasures.

For example, let Zhao Guangyi send a prince over as a proton, or leave Zhao Pu as a proton.

Yang Qi seemed to see through Zhao Pu's thoughts, and stared at Zhao Pu with a smile.

Zhao Pu was a little flustered, but after all, he was an old man, and there was no strange expression on his face, he changed the topic with a smile and said: "The affairs of the imperial court are naturally decided by His Majesty." The old man can't overstep his bounds.

His Majesty meant that he hoped that Huhou could send 200,000 troops, as the left army, out of Chenjiakou, all the way along the southwest of Liao, and conquer the five states in the southwest of Liao. ”

Yang Qi narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Send 200,000 troops? This is to drain all my troops in the northwest! ”

Yang Qi shook his head, "This is not appropriate. As the saying goes, if you eat a trench, you will grow wiser. Previously, the kid evacuated his troops and went to crusade against the party, and some thieves took the opportunity to attack my Datong Mansion City. As a result, thousands of people in our Datong Mansion died. Hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land have not been harvested. Many people have been displaced.

If this kind of thing happens again, the kid, the four northwestern prefectures, I'm afraid it will be gone. ”
